Description A HUGE COLLAGE OF VIDEOGAME CHARACTERS OF MY CHILDHOOD LIFE! Everything was drawn without looking at references. I realised that I keep getting restricted by references whenever I draw anything, especially when it comes to poses and facial expressions. So there, I resisted the urge to revert back to my bad habit.


Most of these sketches are largely unfinished and anatomically wrong; they're just there to keep track of which characters I've already "drawn". Will refine them later.


Some of them are more polished though, like the one of Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Castle Crashers, Dust (of Dust: An Elysian Tail), and Buck of the Ice Age movies. I hope to finish sketching everything by February, and finish linearting and colouring the more significant characters by early April, before school starts for me. EDIT: This is too much for me I'll just try to complete them whenever I feel like it / have the time.


Besides Ice Age movie characters being great videogame characters to play as, I've yet to draw those of the Madagascar movie videogames.


And then there's Master Chief from Halo (I've never played any of the Halo games, but my dad does and I follow the series closely), a car or two from the Need for Speed games, characters from early childhood education games (Freddi Fish, Pyjamas Sam, Putt Putt, Spy Fox, ring any bells?), fishes and plants of Fish Tycoon and Plant Tycoon respectively, a representative villager of the Virutal Villager series, an adoptee of Virtual Families, animals and zoo staff of Zoo Tycoon...heck, even the freaking pinball and bricks and bat from "DX-Ball 2"! And several more characters...


Do not use or alter this artwork without my permission or claim it as your own. I resisted the urge to post this for fear of art theft/tracing/copying, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I haven't been just sleeping at home lol. That, and I've just gotten into the Sly Cooper games this month. A few days before the movie teaser was released too, how timely!

lol So many characters I don't know of. It'll be nice to see them refined.

I love how much more noticeably anatomically accurate Sonic and friends are.

You probably don't know most of them, as they're from kinda obscure indie PC games


Sonic and friends took the longest and were the most painful to draw. I'm serious.

Those sketches are awesome, not just because it's nice, but the creative process of how the posing is broken down to abstract shapes makes it fun to watch and learn
